•
The goods: Plummer (60 tackles) and Dornon (41 tackles, six interceptions) anchor
the defense for the Pirates. The offense will need to retool after graduating many of its top skill
position players.

•
The goods: Stoyle, who passed for 1,752 yards and 18 TDs, is an accurate
third-year starter who has helped the Trojans average 30 points as a starter. Stewart (32
receptions, 346 yards) is one of his favorite targets. Sesma, Valentine and Stoyle carry most of
the load on the ground, having combined for 1,400 yards and 15 TDs last year.

•
The goods: Among 16 returning lettermen, including 12 who started, Highland boasts
a veteran group of backs and linemen. Carpenter loves the Scots’ chemistry and attitude. The key
will be the development of inexperienced skill-position players who will be asked to contribute
immediately.

•
The goods: Ross, who served as defensive coordinator at Johnstown the past nine
seasons, inherits a program seeking its first winning season since 2004. He has a strong senior
class. To become more competitive, Mount Gilead needs to continue adding numbers for depth and
continuity. Bland was a first-team all-MOAC choice, and Fisher was second team.

•
The goods: Northmor has only four seniors, but Trainer is counting on his 12
returning lettermen to pick up the slack. Trainer has instituted an offense that the players are
now comfortable with. Expectations are much higher after a strong offseason.

•
The goods: After its first winless season since 1992, Ridgedale is starting anew
with Hannan, who spent 16 seasons at Mantua Crestwood, winning 60 percent of his games. The Rockets
haven’t won more than three games in a season since 2003. This is Ridgedale’s final year in the
MOAC after a 23-year run. It will join the Northern-10 Athletic Conference with seven teams from
the former North Central Conference.
